pan seared wild salmon and 1/2 of a large cabbage sautéed with black mustard seeds, curry leaves, garlic, ginger, red onion and a couple of split serrano chilis. With a light red wine

@ambra I have been purchasing this wine since 2006. The 2017 is young, dark fruited plum, cherry, cocoa, some mint and tannins are soft and acidity brings a lightness to the dark fruit.

just finished this dinner. Pan seared domestic wagyu hanging tenders aka hanger steak. with roasted broccoli and a nice wine

greenmarket tomato that got smushed on the way home. Sliced with basil oil. Shrimp with feta and tomato sauce. low carb topping shallot, parsley and pulverized pork rinds

really wasn't in the mood to cook last night. made pork chops with hot peppers and husband had rice. mine was just plain no sides. I'll do better tonight.

the Ron Zacapa 23 is a sipping rum. I wouldn't mix with it. Smith and Cross is great for mixed drinks.

I cooked dinner for 5 outside at a friends backyard we started with Maine bafun uni on shiso leaves next an heirloom tomato and buffalo mozzarella salad grilled rack of lamb and chanterelles

thanks. they were cut lengthwise in half lightly olive oiled and seasoned with ground cumin, coriander a little turmeric and cayenne. roasted on a parchment lined sheet pan in a 400 degree hot oven 20-25 minutes

@weinoo the 2010 is the new release from Lopez and to my taste it can age way longer but is super enjoyable right now

stir fry tonight- it scratches the itch. ground pork with string beans and eggplant. Baudry Chinon rose to drink.

these are the roses I am drinking in rotation. I don't include rose champagne because I don't drink it too often and love it.

the recipe calls for 100ml red wine vinegar and 50ml water to cut the sharpness of the vinegar.

back home last night roasted beets from the green market (striped and red) with goat cheese grilled hanger steak and another tomato salad. Sangiovese not pictured

Sunday night in the Berkshires. grilled chicken breasts, delicata squash roasted with olive oil and salt and then bathed in a red wine vinegar, water, garlic, 3tbl sugar, mint and chili flake sauce and another Israeli salad with white burgundy

Domaine Fourrier

Drove up to a friend's county house for the weekend. Brought food for dinner with us. These steaks were frozen solid and in my yeti. in order to be defrosted for dinner we took to the dashboard defrost. tomato salad with olive oil and salt, fresh corn with butter, and grilled steak. red burgundy

it's a hell of a lot more fun than stamp collecting or quilts.

These radishes were not that pristine. I've had radishes like this at Nomad in NYC. You dip the cold dry radish in barely melted sweet butter and chill on parchment or silpat. and I have been a wine collector for many years. It's a fun hobby

a 3 person dinner party last night we started with french breakfast radishes dipped in sweet butter with maldon salt then heirloom tomato salad with goat cheese and grilled chicken thighs on a bed of arugula and roasted okra champagne and red burgundy

shrimp and green bean stir fry and Ryujin Kakushi Ginjo Dragon God Shrimp and string beans were seasoned with sambal oelek, mirin, hoisin, garlic, ginger scallions

of you score the skin side almost down to the meat more fat will be released.

look great. I am a neck meat lover. I like to serve pot au feu with dijon or whole grain mustard and a salsa verde. Horseradish also works.

dinner last night. pan seared king salmon with sautéed cabbage, garlic onion, cumin seeds and a chopped serrano. spicy chili crisp on the side. with a flinty meursault.

craving spicy again. Lemony chicken with fresh coriander sauce. did it. with roasted cauliflower and some mango chutney to cut the spice

Started with an heirloom tomato salad with buffalo mozz and aleppo pepper then pork chop with hot cherry peppers, garlic, chicken stock, butter and parsley and a delicious rhone syrah
